Neither easy nor difficult to read. This eBook was produced by David Widger "Homo Sum — Volume 05" by Georg Ebers is a historical novel likely written in the late 19th century. The narrative centers around the struggles of its protagonist, Paulus, an anchorite, as he grapples with themes of guilt, redemption, and the complexities of human relationships. The opening portion highlights Paulus's inner turmoil following a grave incident involving the young artist Polykarp, depicting the conflict between his aspirations for spiritual purity and his emotional entanglements. The beginning of the volume delves into Paulus's acute sense of remorse and the weight of his perceived failures. We witness his half-hearted attempts to escape his inner demons, leading to a significant encounter with Polykarp, who has suffered a serious injury. As Paulus confronts the consequences of his actions and seeks penance for his perceived sins, we also glimpse the broader turmoil echoed in the characters around him, such as the chaotic preparations for an impending invasion by the Blemmyes. The emotional resonance deepens with the unfolding relationships, especially as Paulus's commitment to his moral quest is tested by the personal and communal crises that arise. Overall, this opening lays a rich foundation for the ensuing drama of the plot.
